He's back...Harry Vidler, a friend of the pod and match winner in the latest 1st XV victory, away to Finchley.
The fly-half, and sometimes team captain, reflects on what he claims is "the best team performance since I've been at Ealing," and describes how the team fought back in heavy conditions.

09:38||Season 3, Ep. 17When skipper Lewis Steadman was injured, Ryan Conyard stepped up and led the team to a 90-point win on a memorable day for the first-time captain. It continued the team's good run in January and ensured that for two straight weeks, the firsts and seconds enjoyed victories. We look back on those wins, talk about captaincy and how much Ryan likes life at inside-centre. #BleedGreenSaturday 8 FebruaryEaling 1871 1sts v Welyn (A) 14.30Ealing 1871 3rds v Finsbury Park (H) 13.00Sunday 9 FebruaryEaling 1871 Women v Aylesbury (H) 14.0016. Luke Beasley

More recently they had the only win of the past weekend, and Luke looks back on that win, his anointment as second XV captain, his move to hooker, and forward to a weekend when all three teams head east.#BleedGreenSaturday 25 January1st XV v Old Streetonians (A) - 14.002nd XV v Hackney (A) - 14.003rd XV v Old Streetonians (A) - 14.0015.

His boots have less mud on, his golf clubs are packed away (well, in his boot) and he is smiling to be back among the troops at Vallis Way, after 11 months up the A40, and up a division with Amersham. He's already up to speed with the new calls, the new style, and the new faces, and is now champing at the bit to pull on the green and white shirt again. #BleedGreenSaturday 7 DecemberEaling 1871 1sts v Old Streetonians (A)Ealing 1871 2nds v Quintin (A)10.
